In Vermont, it\u2019s the season of the tix. Specifically, tickets that can\u2019t be sold for an exorbitant amount above their face value.<\/p>\n

The governor of Noah Kahan\u2019s home state of Vermont has signed bill H.512<\/a> into law, which caps the amount for which a ticket can be resold on the secondary market at\u00a0110 percent of its original price. The bill, which Kahan testified in support of, makes Vermont the only U.S. state to put a cap on secondary market ticket sales.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s happening in Vermont is the first step toward what we believe is going to be a trend that continues,\u201d Kahan\u2019s manager, Drew Simmons, tells The Boston Globe<\/a>. \u201cI think it is foundational to shifting the economic landscape to be a healthier place for artists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arguing against the bill, Brian\u00a0Berry, who represents secondary market sites including\u00a0StubHub and SeatGeek as the executive director of the Ticket Policy Forum, tells the\u00a0Globe, \u201cWe are fundamentally opposed to arbitrary price caps.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think this will not solve for concerns about higher cost tickets because people can sell them elsewhere,\u201d Berry says.<\/p>\n

Kahan will launch a U.S. tour in June in support of his new album,\u00a0\ufeffThe Great Divide\ufeff.<\/p>\n
